David Kendall:
Would you feel a bit like a traitor if you didn't vote for Obama?
I think I would, if I were pigmentally gifted.
Great question. I think I would if I were a Black Republican. If I were, it would be easy to vote against Obama the candidate, but I would be torn after voting against history as well. Fortunately for me I'm a Democrat so no worry there. I'm not sure how I would handle voting against something of this magnitude but I imagine I would take comfort in that fact that Obama represents the possibility win or lose and that means a whole lot.
The saddest part for Black Republicans is the fact that while their party would elect a Black, the likelyhood is extremely low for multiple reasons. Racism being the least of them.
